I know what he was up to today. He was at Haywood mall in Greenville SC making an appearance and signing autographs. My 12 year old and I were there shopping waiting on his hockey tryouts with a team here and discovered he was doing an autograph event at same place. McCaffrey and Cam ate his two favorite Panthers so he begged to meet him. He only got a minute or so with him but CMC was a super nice guy and does so well with people in general especially kids. About as laid back and warm hearted as someone could be towards children. Good dude all the way. I hope he stays healthy this season and isn't overused. They need to get usage out if him but not run the guy into the ground. There are other very capable backs on the roster that could carry some load too. If he stays healthy throughout the season he could only be a beneficial piece for the offense and help other players to not be focused on opening them up to make huge impacts too.

I am going to bucket this into the “poor takes by LG”

 

you have good takes some days, and others you have poo like this. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. These guys are getting hit by trucks week in and week out, and you are stating he doesn’t want to compete? You think they just go out there and run their bodies into the ground bc they have nothing else to do?

 

zero human empathy in your posting today. 

I have empathy for the guys who have suffered severe injuries. Or the guys who bust their ass and just aren't good enough... or the average Joe dealing with soaring inflation and stagnating wages.

But the reality is that CMC has missed an inordinate amount of time with relatively minor injuries in terms of NFL injuries and all if it has come after signing what was at the time the richest RB contract in NFL history.

LG will never down his QB takes, worse than Rhules QB skills. 

Tho, Ive heard Frank on Mac&bone echo the lines LG is using....You know what, I think there is a little something to it. Both years later in season when playoffs were looking impossible, CMC ends up on IR......The deal is EVERYONE single players has "issues/injuries/pain/hurt/etc" late into the season. Pros play on, while some others got different plans. 

Dont know how much pain or larp as some MB doctor to speak on it, just ironic and theres plenty of that type of thing now.....

Highest paid RB for nearly 3 years running, when most times players have alreary re-set the market.....The best weapon is CMC and come week 7 seems like hes in IG vacation mode.....

If I were to say this I would get banned. Gotta love this poo. Hopefully there's a huddle meet up this year.

Disrespectful comments get disrespectful replies. And your comment got you nothing more than getting served up what you deserved. No ban. Not even a warning. 

If we do, bring mom!

He's an awesome dude. Super polite. Good players have their haters. Great players have even more of them -- doesn't bother him, doesn't bother me.

Dude these decisions to hold him out were made by the medical/coaching staff. Hell, most of the Huddle agreed, so yeah you’re full of it.

He played in 48 of a possible 48 games before his big new contract. Since then he's played in 10 of a possible 33.

I definitely agree with pulling him out of the lineup when we're mathematically eliminated.

As for the staff decision, players know what to say with soft tissue injuries if they want to get clearance to play... they also know what to say when they don't want to get clearance to play. Especially guys whose fathers had long NFL careers.

For the record, I don't blame CMC if he's gaming the system. But I do think there's a pretty decent chance that he's gaming the system.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
